Sinopsis

In "The Cruise of the Noah's Ark," David Cory presents an imaginative and adventurous tale that transports readers on a whimsical voyage aboard a fantastical vessel. The book, characterized by its lush, descriptive prose and engaging narrative style, encapsulates the spirit of adventure literature prevalent in the early 20th century. Cory intricately weaves allegorical elements with vibrant characterization, drawing on themes of exploration and camaraderie, while inviting readers to ponder deeper moral questions about humanity and stewardship of the natural world. Set against a backdrop of imaginative landscapes, this novel offers a refreshing blend of humor and insight, appealing to both children and adults alike. David Cory, an accomplished author and educator born in the late 19th century, crafted his literary work during a period when children's literature was evolving rapidly. His diverse background, from writing for children's columns to his experiences as a teacher, allowed him to tap into the curiosity and imagination of young readers. Cory's desire to instill values of friendship and nature conservation in children was likely a driving force behind this enchanting tale. I highly recommend "The Cruise of the Noah's Ark" to readers seeking a captivating escape into a world of adventure and wonder. This book serves not only as an entertaining read but also as a vehicle for conveying important life lessons, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

What Jack Horner Did - Little...

L. Frank Baum

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, 
Eating a Christmas pie; 
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum 
And said, "What a good boy am I!" 
LITTLE JACK HORNER lived in an old, tumble-down house at the edge of a big wood; and there many generations of Horners had lived before him, and had earned their living by chopping wood. Jack's father and mother were both dead, and he lived with his grandfather and grandmother, who took great pains to teach him all that a boy should know. 
They lived very comfortably and happily together until one day a great tree fell upon Grandpa Horner and crushed his legs; and from that time on he could not work at all, but had to be nursed and tended very carefully. 
This calamity was a great affliction to the Horners. Grandma Horner had a little money saved up in an old broken teapot that she kept in the cupboard, but that would not last them a great time, and when it was gone they would have nothing with which to buy food. But little Jack was a brave and hard working little lad who tried as best he could to help his grandparents earn a few pennies for food. Then, he rescued a stranger in a bog and their fortunes took a turn for the better. But you had best listen to the whole story to see why Jack had such a plum pie to eat that Christmas day!

Mallory Vayle and the Curse of...

Martin Howard

Super funny, super spooky MG for budding horror fans about a talkative skull and a necromancer-in-training - perfect for Lemony Snicket readers!

Mallory Vayle would list her interests as being normal, books about ponies and very definitely NOT talking to dead people. But when her parents' carriage takes a leap off Gibbett Bridge - an accident for which there appears to be no explanation - she is taken in by a strange aunt the family disowned years ago and brought to her new, and very spooky, home. Aunt Lilith, a charlatan psychic, is quick to monetise Mallory's prodigious skills in talking to dead people and starts to advertise grand seances (ticketed obvs) in her spiritual news sheet.

The ghosts of her parents also take up residence in the house but are cruelly snatched away by the shadow of Hellysh Spatzl, the grimmest, wickedest necromancer in all of history. To get them back, Mallory will have to learn how to use the talents she hates and raise the old hag from the dead. Her teacher? A talking skull called Maggoty, who wants some favours in return for his help - not just a gorgeous blond wig and some sparkly earrings, but for Mallory to break the curse that has left his spirit locked inside his own skull for 500 years.

Mallory will have to lean into who she is and what she can do and make a pact with the evil Hellysh Spatzl to get her parents back while at the same time putting on a sensational Halloween spectacular at only five shillings a head for an amazed audience at Nightmare Castle. And learn to love her chatty sidekick and his glorious wig...

As darkly hilarious as The Addams Family, this is really good fun. An alternative spooky Victoriana packed with laughs and outrageous characters, at its heart, it's a story of a young girl coming to terms with her own gifts and accepting that nobody is 'normal'.
